International Men’s Fastpitch a Memorable Tournament

The International Men’s Fastpitch tournament came to an exciting conclusion on Sunday afternoon when the New York Gremlins faced off against the Venezolanos in the Championship game. It was a nail-biter but the Venezolanos ended up grabbing the win over the Gremlins, 4-3.

The two quarterfinals were played Sunday morning, with the Equipo Aguilos de Venezuela beating the Oriundo Soy, 6-2, and the Venezolanos taking the victory over the Lanceros DE Venezuela, 4-2. Both winning teams advanced to the semi-finals later that day where the Venezolanos grabbed another win, this time against the Equipo Aguilos DE Venezuela, 6-2. The New York Gremlins played their first game of the day against the New York Swashbucklers, with the Gremlins taking the game 9-2.

In other exciting news surrounding the tournament, Rafael Flores of Sopotocientos de Venezuela proposed to his girlfriend, Luz Manna Rodriguez, at home plate prior to kicking off the AAU Men’s International Fastpitch Championships! She said yes and threw out a ceremonial first pitch!
